The Bodhisattva in Heaven certainly could not see the expression of Zeng Erwa, a less loyal believer, nor could he hear what was in his heart, but Tan Yuan, a living person, could see and hear it.

Patting him on the shoulder, he said earnestly, "It's just as you think. From now on, you have to keep this secret well. My life and property are in your hands!"

Originally, in front of Zeng Erwa, I just wanted to be an ordinary tofu factory worker. Who knew that Secretary Qian would suddenly appear and reveal my identity?

This position of young captain was won by the team leader Lin Guoan. It was easy for Tan Yuan to hold the position. It was better to have her identity exposed than to let Zeng Erwa know that she was the director of a factory.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, and with Tan Yuan's special guidance, Zeng Erwa felt more and more that this matter must not be revealed, whether for himself or Tan Yuan.

At the same time, he gained more confidence in the chestnut business he and Tan Yuan were carrying out.

Zeng Erwa was obsessed with making money. He was reluctant to let go of the big money from smuggling, and he was also reluctant to throw away the small money from roasting chestnuts. He was so busy every day that he wished he could tie a spinning top to his feet.

Tan Yuan also confirmed her guess that Secretary Qian would talk to her alone because of the trade fair.

If the trade fair can be successfully run, it will be beneficial to the county's economy and reputation. How could such a thing be left to her, an unknown person with no background, to lead?

“Who did the county hand it over to?”

Tan Yuan was still a little curious about the person designated by the county.

Zhou Zhigang was surprised that she was so calm. He thought about it and was about to speak when Lin Guoan spoke first.

Lin Guoan slammed his palm on the wooden table, making a dull thud, followed by an angry voice: "Who cares who he is, this isn't how it's done. Xiao Tan brought this up, so she should be the one handling it!"

"The county can't just look down on us just because we're from the same brigade and come from humble backgrounds. They can't just rob us of our achievements! No, I have to go find the secretary. Let's go to the county government and ask for justice!"

If the county doesn't work, he will go to the city, to the central government. He doesn't believe that in such a big country like China, there is no place for their team to make decisions!

Lin Guoan was about to leave, but Zhou Zhigang, the branch secretary, and Tan Yuan, the person involved, did not move, which made it seem that the eunuchs were anxious while he himself was not.

"What are you two just standing there looking at? Come on! Don't worry, Xiao Tan, I will definitely get this back for you!"

It must be a good thing that someone would snatch it away, so he has to hold on to it tightly.

Zhou Zhigang completely ignored the team leader and kept his eyes on Tan Yuan from beginning to end.

"What do you think? If you want to go, then we can go together."

Tan Yuan shook her head calmly, "I'm going to the county government, but not to secure the hosting rights. I can't handle something as big as a trade show."

Her demands were simple from beginning to end: to secure a good location for the tofu factory and for the county government to adopt the blueprint she had drawn.

The drawings have long been handed over to Secretary Qian. I believe Secretary Qian has already sent them to the county government, and the results should have come out by now.

He went to the county not for the hosting rights, and Lin Guoan was very disappointed.

"Are you scared? You're still young and shy after all. Leave it to me, I'll do it. Just follow my lead!"

In order to set up the tofu factory, the team leader used his thick skin, which was thicker than a city wall, and the tacit cooperation between him and Tan Yuan to deal with Secretary Qian.

She was thin-skinned, and Captain Tan Yuanhuaiyinlin was busy with all kinds of affairs and had forgotten her past achievements.

"Captain, I'm not a child anymore. I don't need adults to help me fight. I can go to the county by myself. As for the hosting rights, I've already prepared myself mentally."

Just as she said, she was not in a position to handle this trade fair. She could be the one to come up with ideas, but she could not be the person in charge.

For example, if she didn't have the support of Captain Lin Guoan in running this tofu factory, she would never have been able to become the person in charge, let alone the factory director.

The county is not like the Huaiyin Brigade, and there is no one in the county with enough power to support her unconditionally. Naturally, she did not dare to think that the title of person in charge would fall on her.

Tan Yuan is open-minded and Zhou Zhigang also agrees with her idea.

"The county attaches great importance to this event. This is the first time our county, and even the city, has held such an event. We certainly won't let an unknown person be in charge. This matter is not that simple. Being the person in charge sounds good. If it goes well, you will be credited. If it doesn't go well, you will also be criticized. But if you want something else, you can raise it. I will try my best to use my connections."

Zhou Zhigang looked at Tan Yuan with encouragement. As long as Tan Yuan was willing, he could find a way to get Tan Yuan to join the activity team.

"No, this is your honor, Secretary. It's not good to always use it on such trivial matters."

No matter how great the face is, it will become less valuable after a while, and you will have to repay the favor when others find you guilty. Tan Yuan doesn't like to owe favors to others, and she doesn't like others to owe favors to her even more.

"So, let's just leave it at that?"

Zhou Zhigang didn't say anything, and Lin Guoan spoke weakly.

He had a backer, but he was just the commune secretary. He had a say in the commune, but that was not enough to be used in the county. Lin Guoan, who had been staying in the brigade for most of his life, felt frustrated for the first time.

Tan Yuan shook her head: "I plan to go to the county."

"Want me to come with you?"

Zhou Zhigang asked, he still had some connections in the county, if Tan Yuan needed it, he could also go and look for her.

"Yes, let Secretary Zhou go with you. He knows a lot of people."

"No need, I'm not looking for trouble. Secretary Li is enough."

Tan Yuan specifically asked Li Ze to come along, and the two of them had nothing to say, except to remind him to be careful.

Before going to the county, Tan Yuan called Secretary Qian first, and Secretary Qian was also in a difficult situation.

"I have mentioned your request to them, but there has been no response yet."

They wanted the best spot, and they also wanted to be able to place pots, tables, and chairs. They didn't have any other requirements. Secretary Qian thought it was not excessive at all. After all, the idea came from someone in their commune. But...

He didn't think it was excessive, but others thought so. However, people who were on good terms with Secretary Qian didn't have much say in the county either.

"If you're going to the county, I have to remind you that the person in charge of this exhibition and sales event was specially assigned by higher-ups. I haven't found out about his background. Do you understand?"

Was he specially sent by the higher-ups? Tan Yuan's heart skipped a beat before she even heard about the man's origins.

If you can find out, it's easier. If you really can't find out anything, you'll have to think it over carefully...
